Another Nihilego appeared in ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', when Faba created an [[Ultra Wormhole]] using [[Nebby]]'s power. After appearing in the [[Aether Foundation]] basement laboratories, Nihilego promptly knocked out Faba before reaching out for Lillie. However, she was protected by [[Lusamine]], who was captured instead and then taken through the Wormhole. After attaching itself to Lusamine, it started playing on her desires and reduced her mentality to that of a child's.

Nihilego was first seen in a flashback during A Masked Warning!. Gladion revealed to Ash that Nihilego had attempted to kidnap Lillie when she was younger. These events, along with Faba wiping her memories afterwards, lead her to fear touching Pokémon.

Another Nihilego appeared in Faba's Revenge!, when Faba created an Ultra Wormhole using Nebby's power. After appearing in the Aether Foundation basement laboratories, Nihilego promptly knocked out Faba before reaching out for Lillie. However, she was protected by Lusamine, who was captured instead and then taken through the Wormhole. After attaching itself to Lusamine, it started playing on her desires and reduced her mentality to that of a child's.

Lusamine fused with Nihilego

As such, when Gladion, Ash, and his classmates came to save her in Rescuing the Unwilling!, she instead ran away, releasing her Pokémon enhanced by Nihilego's power as a deterrent. Nihilego also used various other means to deter the children, but in the end was cornered by Ash, Lillie, and Gladion. When Lillie managed to get through to Lusamine, Nihilego interfered, trying to keep Lusamine to itself. In the end, Ash managed to defeat it using 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt in 10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!, allowing Lusamine to separate from it.

Personality and characteristics

Nihilego is a very hostile Pokémon, attacking anyone on sight and even kidnapping Lusamine. According to Gladion, Nihilego might have an interest in humans, which is why it fused itself with Lusamine; this was an attempt to learn more about them.

Celesteela

Celesteela appeared in Rise and Shine, Starship!, where it was found by Sophocles while camping out at the Bamboo Hill. It actually arrived in Alola approximately 200 years ago in what was believed to be a naturally appearing Ultra Wormhole, and was stuck in the ground ever since, passively absorbing energy for a take off. After it was dug up, Celesteela was discovered by Lusamine's group, who told the Ultra Guardians to go out and catch it. Their attempts to catch it failed, as Celesteela was too deeply rooted to the ground at the time. When they discovered that Celesteela was preparing to take off, the Ultra Guardians realized that the flames produced when it flies would set the surrounding area ablaze. Using their Ride Pokémon, the Ultra Guardians were able to construct a defensive barrier, allowing Celesteela to safely blast off and return back to its home.

Personality and characteristics

Celesteela is shown to be determined, as seen in Rise and Shine, Starship! where it prepared to blast off home despite the Ultra Guardians' requests for it to wait until they can form a protective barrier around it.

Blacephalon first appeared in Twirling with a Bang! during a fireworks show. Ash and his classmates were amazed by its performance, believing it to be a part of the show.

The next day, they learned that it was actually an Ultra Beast and set out to catch it. Blacephalon appeared just as Kiawe was about to catch Xurkitree and began to have a performance battle with it, preventing the Ultra Guardians from catching it. With the Ultra Guardians' Pokémon providing a distraction and Ash's Lycanroc weakening Blacephalon with Splintered Stormshards, Lillie was eventually able to catch it, allowing it to be sent back home.

Personality and characteristics

Blacephalon likes to put on displays, as seen in Twirling with a Bang! where it amazed large crowds of people and later had a competition with Xurkitree to see who could put on the best display.

Xurkitree appeared in Alola one night in Twirling with a Bang!. The next day, the Ultra Guardians were dispatched to catch it, as it was draining electricity from a power line. Just when Kiawe was about to catch it, however, Xurkitree began a performance battle with Blacephalon, preventing the Ultra Guardians from catching it. With the Ultra Guardians' Pokémon providing a distraction and Ash's Lycanroc weakening Xurkitree with Splintered Stormshards, Lana was eventually able to catch it, allowing it to be sent back home.

In Securing the Future!, Naganadel helped Necrozma regain its true form by giving it some of its Z-Power. Once successful, Necrozma turned back into Ultra Necrozma and restored Naganadel's home world to its former glory. As the Ultra Guardians prepared to leave, Naganadel informed Ash that Poipole wished to stay behind and protect its home, much to Ash's sadness.

Stakataka entered Alola through an Ultra Wormhole at the Pokémon School. The initial attempts by the Ultra Guardians to catch it failed due to it managing to avoid all of their Beast Balls, and during the following night, it moved to a construction site owned by Viren, where it was mistaken for a pedestal for a statue of Viren. Once the statue was placed on top of it, Stakataka became angry and started rampaging around until Ash removed the statue. Stakataka then let itself be caught by Ash upon learning that he wanted to help it get back home. Later, back at the Pokémon School, Stakataka was safely returned to its home dimension through an Ultra Wormhole.

Personality and characteristics

Guzzlord is shown to be a strong Pokémon, managing to stand the attacks of five different Pokémon at once. Guzzlord is also a ruthless Pokémon, attacking people and Pokémon without mercy, and is capable of causing mass destruction. Unlike other Ultra Beasts in the anime, Guzzlord resisted being sent through an Ultra Wormhole; it was either unable to understand its significance, or simply refused to return to its home world.

Personality and characteristics

Pheromosa is shown to be a strong Pokémon, as seen in Beauty is Only Crystal Deep!, where it was able to defeat Hala's Hariyama with little difficulty. Pheromosa is shown to like collecting Z-Crystals, as seen when it went around attacking Trainers who owned them and stealing them.

Kartana

Kartana debuted in SM124, appearing in Alola through an Ultra Wormhole. It started slicing through various objects across Melemele Island, prompting Ash and his classmates to embark on their eighth mission as the Ultra Guardians. Their efforts to catch it ended in failure, and were soon overshadowed by a meteor falling towards Pokémon School. Unexpectedly, Kartana sliced the meteor to small, harmless pieces before it could hit the building, saving the school. Afterwards, it created itself a new Ultra Wormhole by repeatedly slicing the air in rapid succession, allowing it to return itself home.

Personality and characteristics

Kartana is shown to enjoy cutting through objects at random, as seen in SM124 where it went on a cutting spree. Although it did it for fun, Kartana does it to help as seen where it cut the cabbage at Aina's Kitchen and cut the meteor which threatened to hit the Pokémon School.
